ventureLAB’s Tech Undivided Program Welcomes Second Cohort

ventureLAB is proud to welcome the incoming Tech Undivided cohort! Launched in February 2019 with support of a $1.7-million investment through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), Tech Undivided bridges gender and diversity gaps in the tech sector to support women in tech. By focusing on and supporting diverse and underrepresented women-led tech companies while working with women and allies, Tech Undivided removes unconscious bias faced by women and underrepresented persons. The 2020 Tech Undivided cohort is comprised of female-led tech companies with breakthrough products that change the way we approach health care, digitize immigration, and improve our digital privacy. These six companies will work with industry experts, our Strategic Mentorship network, and investors to prepare them for Seed or Series A funding.
